She had 10 siblings: Margaret, Katherine, Alice, Helen, Thomas (Bud), John (Jack), Patrick, Joseph, Robert (Bobby) and Patricia. Joann was united in holy matrimony to Marvin Willard Nelson on Feb. 13, 1954. They were blessed with eight children: Margaret Haugland (Pete), Chris Nelson (Jeanne), Elizabeth Byrne (Doug), Mark Nelson (Teri), T.J. Nelson (Bernadette), Marianne Nelson, Nels Nelson (Amy) and Neil Nelson (Tyley). Marvin preceded her in death on Aug. 27, 1972. Joann has 21 grandchildren: Sarah (Drew) Karlsgodt, Anna and Marta Nelson, Rachel (Chris) Tozer, Rose (Tim) Doepker, Jacob Byrne, Logan (James) Reiff, Ty (Chloe) Nelson, Taylor, Bridger and Serena Nelson, Kelsie, Margaret, Sadie and Daniel Crippen, Chloe, Isaac and Liam Nelson, and Saylor, Beau and Crew Nelson. She has five great-grandchildren: Michael and Finlei Reiff, Dawson and Kolten Karlsgodt, and Jensen Tozer. Joann was a homemaker and Marvin worked at the Butte Concentrator until November 1965 when he was blinded in an accident. After his recovery, they focused on raising their Black Angus cattle. Prior to the accident, Joann did not drive and got her first drivers license at the age of 32 and became Marvins eyes and chauffer. In August of 1972, the family moved to Whitehall, Montana to expand the cattle operation on a 450 acre ranch. Marvin suffered a heart attack and passed on the first night in the new home. After that, Joann dedicated herself to the children and the ranch until 1986 when she moved to Dillon to complete her teaching degree. She completed her teaching degree and later received her Masters Degree from Montana State University. She taught grade school in Glen, Hot Springs and Browning, Montana. She retired from teaching and returned to Whitehall and was a volunteer grandmother reading assistant at Tia Kober Elementary. For the past few years, she has resided in Kalispell, Montana in the Expressions Assisted Living facility. Joann was awarded the Soil Conservation Woman Farmer of the Year and the Blackfoot Language Teacher of the Year, she was also a founding member of the Whitehall High School Booster Club. Joann felt her greatest accomplishments were her children. She dedicated her life to them. She strongly encouraged each to attend college and complete their degrees. She was highly competitive and often told them, If you arent winning, youre losing and, Even if you win, there is always someone better than you, so you better be ready to take them on. The family was raised in a competitive and survivalist environment. From this, each of her children received faith, strength, perseverance, and responsibility. What Joann couldnt provide, she prayed for and was proud of her Catholic faith. She was often the last one out of the church, on her knees praying long after the last blessing. In addition to her faith, Joanns dedication to her children will forever be cherished by them. Funeral services will be held at 11 a.m. Saturday, April 14, at St. Teresas Catholic Church in Whitehall, Montana.
